Ambassador Mammad Aliyev spoke of the tragedy`s details. He said “in February of 1992 Armenians committed the most horrible crime against the whole mankind”. The Azeri diplomat said “only after Azerbaijan nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev`s returning to power, the horrible crimes committed by Armenian butchers against our people, as well as truths about Khojaly genocide became known to the world community. Today, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev is steadily continuing this policy”.

The Embassy distributed Heydar Aliyev Foundation-made books, brochures and CDs about the Khojaly genocide among the participants of the commemorative event.
